Ya know, all you need to know is how to do what you need to do today.
When tomorrow comes, you can learn that stuff then. But just worry
about learning today's lesson. My guess is that Linux will keep you
young. My dad bought his first computer when he was 75, and he played
with it every day until he died at 80. He loved it, and despite his
failing health, he enjoyed figuring it out and playing with it. I
don't think age is any hindrance at all, realistically.
